A Peculiar Jail Scono,

Is CHICAGO. July l0.-An Inter Ocean ope.
cial from Springfield, No., says: A novel
incident transpired at the county jail here
this afternoon. While number Of ladies
were holding Scriptural and song meet.
ing in the corridors Of the jail for the BEN
eft Of the prisoners, one fair enthusiaet
invited O. 0. Simmons, the Baptist
preacher, who is one Of the sixteen noto-
rious Bald Knob prisoners indicted for
murder in the first degree for killing
Charles Green end W. Edens in Chris
tian county, to lead in prayer. Par
son simmona promptly accepted tho
invitation by n kneeling On his
hard cell ~ floor and offering a
ieryent petition. Simmons is very litter
ate and compares himself to tho Apostle
Paul when he was in prison. Tho evil
dencs, however, shows that he was one OF
the ringleaders in the atrocious double
murder and there Is no doubt but he was
prominent member Of the bloody Bald
Knob organization OF Christian county.
The trial Of the 10 Bald Knobbers will be.
gin at Ozark the first Of next month and
the prosecution Is confident OF either
hanging or sending the entire lot TO the
peniteutiary. 2lf rs rs.

The announcement that ex-senator
Dorsey is engineering a little Sherman
boom OF his own to knock Blaine out of
the field, will not be good news tothe real
iricnda Of Sherman. Nor will Republic
csus generally be disposed to advance the
ex.Senator'a alleged desire to conduct the
next Republican national campaign. Dor
say may wish to get front seat, but the
party will have something to say about
that, aud at the right time it will be likely
to say it with effect. II Dorsey, must
fight, there is good fghting in the ranks.
In the meantime, 1t will do no harm for
him to keep up the fire on Blaine. The
hotter no makes the fusilade the better. 4

Ing In isa report in reference to the con.
vlcts In the Mississippi Penitontiary:
After saying they iouud things gener.
ally clean about the prison, they say In
reference to the hospital: We found
twenty.aix inmates, all Of whom have
been lately brought there of the farms
and railroads, many Of them with con.
sumption and other incurable diseases,
and all bearing on their persons marka oi
the most inhuman and brutal treatment,
most Of them having their backs cut In
great holes, scars and bliaters, and some
with the skin peeling of in places as the
result OF severe beatfngs, their feet and
hands IN some INSTANCES showing signs Of
frost bite, and oil Of them with the stamp
OF manhood almost blotted out Of
their faces, which shows that
they have been treated more cruelty and
brutslly than q nation Of savages ought TO
permit inflicted upon It's convicts. They
are lying, come Of them, on bare boards 90
paor and emaclated that their bones al
most come through their skin, many com.
planning for the want OF food. We believe
they are Improperly fed. Sick persons
should have light diet, and theirs Is beef,
water and meats for soups, as we are in.
formed, with coarse meal and cabbage.
Such diet they cannot eat. One convict
burst into tears, saying that he was liter.
ally starving to death. Live vermin were
seen crawling over the faces OF the sick;
the bedding was light, and stiff with dirt
and filth. The attention Of the authorities
Is called to this condition OF Affairs, and
pardon recommended to the Governor for
a number Of conyicts who are named.
The lessees as individuals are not con-
demned, but the system and principle
which permits the State to take poor
creatures liberty away and turn him over
to those whose interest it Ia TO coin his
blood into money is strongly inveighed
against. Alter q recital OF many shocking
details the report closes by asserting that
God will mover smile on State that treats
Ito convicts as Mississippi does hers.

ton by. Harry Wilkes, who was to try to
beat his record Of 2:l31, made at San
Francisco. When the regular trots we're
finished a long wait ensued, and then
Wilkes appeared. After his driver, Frank
Van Ness, had given him little exercise
and warming up, the judges give the word
Tor him to start. He finished the frat
heat in 2:253 The quarters were made:
First, 36l; second, 1:l3!; third, i :51.
After Harry Wilkes had rested and was
rubbed down. be came out for the second
heat. The betting was even that he would
not beat 2:l6 and lots OF money was lost,
as the sequel shows. The trotter appear.
ed to be in fine trim. He Travelled the
first quarter in 233, the half was finished
IN l:06t, the, three:quarter mills post was
reached in 1:4l3 and the mile in 2:l5I,
Then there was tremendous applause
for the trotter and driver. In the third
heat nothing extraordinary was done. The
horse did not travel freely from the be-
ginning, but he managed to finsh the
mile IN 2:l0s. Competent Judges state
